When we first met,
when black met red,
our differences opposed.
I’m vibrant fire,
you’re but a shade.
mine in my heart,
yours in your clothes.

I voice my feelings to the world,
you hide behind your smile.
Though not as bright as my broad glow,
you’re burning all the while.

Yet when it comes to matters
that are kept so close to heart,
our minds,
our souls
and love, alike,
don’t seem to far apart.

Our love combined the day we met.
Black dahlia and rose.
I’m vibrant fire,
love fuels my flame,
brings passion to the prose.
